Chapter 2

Chapter TWO 'Come on, Inkibelle!' I said on the morning of our camping trip. I poked my little pet octopus gently. 'It's time to go!' Inkibelle wriggled further down under the duvet. She does not like getting up early! While she snoozed for a little bit longer, I got dressed and then opened my rucksack to double-check I'd

第二章“加油，因基贝利！”我在我们野营的早晨说。 我轻轻地戳了戳我的小宠物章鱼。 “该走了！”因基贝利蜷缩在羽绒被下面。 她不喜欢早起！她又睡了一会儿，我穿好衣服，然后打开背包，仔细检查一下

packed everything. There was my roll- up mattress, sleeping bag, tent, pillow, and snacks. Lastly, I packed my favourite starfish plushie, as I can't sleep without it. Then, I carefully hung Dad's special compass round my neck. Maybe I would need to use it if we went sea mountain trekking!

所有包装。里面有我的卷筒床垫、睡袋、帐篷、枕头和零食。 最后，我带上了我最喜欢的海星毛绒玩具，因为没有它我就睡不着。 然后，我小心翼翼地把爸爸特制的指南针挂在脖子上。 如果我们去海上登山，也许我需要用它！

I did up the straps of the rucksack, put it on, and then scooped Inkibelle up from the pillow. It was time to go! Mum and Delphina were already waiting by the front door, both munching on a seaweed crunch breakfast bar. Delphina was spinning round excitedly in the water, wearing her backpack with a squishy pufferfish toy poking out of the top. 'Aren't you bringing Mer-Bear?' I asked. Mer-Bear is Delphina's special cuddly toy, which our vampire-fairy friend, Isadora Moon magicked alive for her.

我系好背包的带子，把它穿上，然后把因基贝利从枕头上抱起来。 该走了！妈妈和黛尔菲娜已经在前门等着了，两人都在大嚼着海带脆脆的早餐棒。 黛尔菲娜在水里兴奋地旋转着，她背着背包，背包顶上露出一个软绵绵的河豚玩具。 “你不带梅熊来吗？”我问。 梅尔熊是德尔菲娜特别的可爱玩具，我们的吸血鬼仙女朋友伊莎多拉·穆恩为她施了魔法。

'Mer-Bear doesn't like the idea of camping,' replied Delphina. 'So I'm bringing Squishy instead.'

“梅熊不喜欢露营的主意，”德尔菲娜回答。 “所以我要带史乖宝来。”

Mum handed me a breakfast bar and I began to eat it too. Just then, there came a bubbling and swishing from up above and Auster appeared at the top of the staircase. He was dragging an absolutely ginormous bag behind him. Two mer-butlers followed him, also dragging suitcases. I thought you said you only had a

妈妈递给我一个早餐棒，我也开始吃起来。 就在这时，上面传来一阵冒泡声和嗖嗖声，奥斯特出现在楼梯顶上。 他身后拖着一个巨大无比的袋子。 两个男管家也拖着行李箱跟在他后面。 你不是说你只有一个

rucksack?' said Mum. Auster shrugged. 'It wasn't big enough for all my stuff!'

帆布背包吗?妈妈说。奥斯特耸耸肩。 “它不够大，放不下我所有的东西！”
